On this 10 th day of December 1838 Amasa Fox of the town of Mersith in said county appeared in the court of common pleas in & for said county and in open court maketh oath and saith that he is the son of Allen Fox late of the town of Kortright in said county, deceased & that he is aged forty three years. That since his mother the said Chloe Fox has resided with him in his dwelling house in said Mersith she is under his care and the said family Bible containing the said family records is of course in his custody. There is entered in the said Family Bible herewith brought into court, under the head of
Family Record.
Merricett , as follows to wit
"Allen Fox and Chloe Brithenden married six th November seventeen hundred and eighty three" I certify that it is a true copy of the record with the exception of the date which is expressed on the record in fair legible figures as follows: "6 th November 1783." I Amasa Fox above named do depose and say that I have the custody of the said Family Bible as aforesaid and that the above is a true extract from the record of said marriage with the exception above named as certified by me. And the said Ama- sa Fox further says that about twenty five years ago he resided with his said father Allen Fox at his house in Kortright aforesaid and knows that his said father then got a new & large family Bible & then & there saw him transcribing from an old, small & nearly worn out bible that to the said new bible the family records therein contained as they now appear, including the aforesaid marriage of my father & my mother & including births as far as "Chloe Fox born 25 July 1803" & deaths as far as "Ansel Fox died November 10 th 1786" both inclusive. The other entries have since that time been made. And the said Amasa Fox further says that his said

father always since he can remember spelled his name "Allen" and not "Allyn" as in Gen. Washington discharge. But he knows that he is the same person intended to be described therein. That during his life time he held the said discharge & drew the said pension.
And the said Amos further saith that his father the said Allen Fox died on the 17 th of September 1831 and that his mother the said Chloe Fox has not been married since his death but still remains his widow.
Amos Fox Sworn in open Court this 10 th day of December 1838.
J. B. Sheldon Clerk
We it remembers that on the tenth day of Decem- ber one Thousand eight hundred and thirty eight in the court of common pleas then in session at the court house in the town of Redhi in and for the county of Redco- were come Chloe Fox widow and relict of Allen Fox otherwise spelled Allyn Fox late of the town of Westright in said county deceased and pursuant to instructions from the respondent ever she made her aforesaid declaration under oath in open court. The aforesaid Amos Fox was sworn in open court. He is personally known to most of the members of the court and known to be a person of good credit as a witness. The Bible referred to in the said declaration and also in the affidavit of said Amos Fox was produced and inspected by the court. On inspection of the record of the said marriage as entered in the said Bible as aforesaid that the said Amos Fox had cor- rectly stated and certified the same in his deposition and af- fidavit aforesaid and it is therefore considered by the court that the said marriage of the said Allen Fox and the said Chloe his wife is sufficiently & legally proved and established. On inspection of the said family re- cord in the Bible aforesaid the court finds that there are two leaves bound in between the Old Testament and the Apocrypha on which there are captions printed "Fam- ily Records." "Marriages." "Births." "Deaths." The marriage aforesaid, quite a number of births and several deaths are entered or recorded there. It now appear to the court to be improper to multilate the record by cutting out the leaf containing the record of the said marriage.

Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Allen Fox who was born July 1, 1755, and served all through the Revolutionary War, for which he received a badge of merit.
You are furnished herein the record of the only Allyn or Allen Fox found in the Revolutionary War records of this office. The data therein were obtained from the claims for pension and bounty land on file under W. 19275, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War. No reference was made in the claims to a badge of merit received by him.
The date and place of birth of Allyn Fox (as he signed) and names of his parents were not stated.
Allyn Fox enlisted in May, 1775, place not shown, served as private under Captains Phineas Beardsley, Hall and Converse, in Captain Heman Swift's Connecticut regiment. He was discharged June 7, 1783, at which time he belonged to the 2 nd Connecticut Regiment.
The soldier was allowed one hundred acres of bounty land on account of his service on Warrant No. 1315, issued May 16, 1828, then aged seventy-two years.
Allyn Fox was allowed pension, also, on his application executed August 22, 1828, at which time he was residing in Kortright, Delaware County, New York. He died there September 17, 1831.
The soldier married November 6, 1783, Chloe Cruttenden. The date and place of her birth, names of parents or place of her marriage to the soldier were not given.
Chloe Fox, soldier's widow, was allowed pension on her application executed December 10, 1838, at which time she stated she was aged

seventy-six years and was a resident of Meredith, Delaware County, New York, where she was living with her son, Amasa Fox then aged forty-three years. In 1844, she was still residing in Meredith, New York, but in 1848 was living in Butternuts, Otsego County, New York, and then stated she was seventy-seven years of age, with no explanation of the discrepancy.
Soldier's widow, Chloe Fox, died March 22, 1852, survived by four children whose names were not designated. It was stated that the family Bible contained the family record and a number of births and deaths were recorded therein, the births as far as "Chloe Fox born July 25, 1803", and deaths as far as "Ansyl (not clearly written) Fox died November 10, 1786", both inclusive. No other family data are shown in the claims.
If you desire information in regard to location of the land granted Allyn Fox, you should apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department, this city, and furnish that official the number of the warrant, the acreage and date of issuance.
In order to obtain date of last payment of pension and name of person paid in the case of Chloe Fox, you should write to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data: Chloe Fox, widow of Allen, certificate #3737 issued February 7, 1849, rate $80 per annum, commenced March 4, 1848, Act February 2, 1848, New York (Albany) Agency.

In the case of Chloe Fox widow of Allen Fox a Prisoner &c I sent, a few weeks ago, the bible leaf containing the record of her marriage - Under date "May 29, 1839" I rec d a letter from W. Crump in the words following "From your letter of the 23 d inst. containing the two leaves of the Bible of Mrs. Chloe Fox it would appear that the certificate of the court as to the genuineness of the record had been objected to. There is no record of such a letter in the office. It received from you a copy thereof. The leaf containing the record of births and deaths is herewith returned; that containing the record of the defendant's marriage is returned. The genuineness of the note requiring par. 100 of that description to be authenticated by a witness proving the hand writing of the person who  made  the record he made. The record he will in this instance be dispensed with."
On the 6 th of June I wrote to W. Crump in substance (Kept in copy) that I knew of no objection to the certificate of the court rec d of any such letter of which he desired a copy - I think stated that by reference to the certificate & consideration of the court he would find the bible leaf & the record fully framed & identified but if further proof as to the genuineness of leaf or record were required I wish him to assure me what more was necessary & I would endeavor to furnish them. I have rec d nothing since, in this case, from your department. -
I presume you have returned to your

Office - I now beg you to turn your attention to this case - As of all the requisite proofs are furnished - If they are, send on the certificate - If not, let me know what reason is preventing & I will endeavor to supply the defect. Your obedt Servt

Sir,
In relation to the case of Chloe Fox I have rec d your favour of the 10 July inst. You say the papers cannot be found & inquire when they were recorded. - This statement & inquiry led me to suspect that the imputation of inattention & negligence should rest upon me. - I set myself upon the search & found the original case re-posing among the papers labelled " Chloe Fox ".
I am ashamed of the negligent - such culpable neglect! It is difficult to find an apology - or even an extenuation. - The only extenuating circumstance is that Mr. Fox, son of the claimant was unwilling to mutilate the family record & we concluded to write to the Secretary to enclose a dissemble him from insisting upon the Bible-leaf . Shortly after a fractured arm prevented me from writing in person - I got others to write & the original case was overlooked & forgotten. I hope you will overlook & forget my gross negligence.
I now enclose you the case - The bible-leaf you have. Dr. Crump in his of the 29 th May acknowledged its rec d . - You will favour me much by giving the case your early attention - It may save me the confusion of attempting an awkward apology to Mr. Fox.

Will it be possible for you to check the Pension Records for the Revolutionary War for the name of Allen Fox ? Our family records say that he was born July 1, 1755 and died March 22, 1852 - that "he served all thro the Revolutionary War and received a badge of merit for long and faithful service."
I am very anxious to verify these records and will greatly appreciate any information you can give.
Thank you.

Dear Sir;
only one Can you tell me if the Allan(or spelled in the army books, Allin, Allen or Allyn) Fox , a revolutionary war soldier from Cornwall, Connecticut who served in the "Seventh Connecticut Line" from 1775 until in 1783 was transferred to the "Second Connecticut line and was mustered out at West Point in June 1783, ever received a pension for his war services to the government and if so did he have a family, and were his children names listed?
I am told that an Allen Fox is my early forefather and I am trying to establish proof that this Allen Fox is the one I am descended from. I find no printed record of his marriage, offspring or death except that he served in the revolutionary war and received a honorable discharge signed by General George Washington.
I am,
Sincerely yours,
Mrs James E. Wootton.

Delhi 6 June 1889
Your favour of the 29 th ult. in answer to mine of the 23 rd . "containing the two leaves of the Bible of Mrs. Chloe Fox" has been received. You say that "it would appear that the certificate of the court as to the genuineness of the record had been objected to." I know not by whom it has been "objected to." I am sure I have not objected to it. I drew it myself - read it to the court & it was approved by the court & duly certified by the clerk under its seal. By looking at that certificate you will find (I write from memory, not having kept a copy) - you will find that Mr. Fox the son of the claimant swore that he had made the entry in the Great Bible, that it was taken from an older & almost worn out Bible. The bible was brought into court. That Mr. Fox the witness was a credible person - and is short that the proof of the marriage were conclusive & satisfactory. - I have not been advised that Mr. Edwards objects to the genuineness of the record. I was advised long ago, and to my utter astonishment, that the Bible leaves or the Bible itself were required for the personal inspection of the commissioner. The Bible leaves have at last this morning reluctantly been cut out & sent. What now is wanting? You do not inform me. You only say, "The observance of the rule requiring copies of that description to be authenticated by a notary, framing the house writing or her son as made the record & will in this instance be dispensed with!" All that you mention which the "rule" requires being dispensed with, I am at a loss to know

what more I ought to furnish. If any thing more is wanted be good enough to let me know it and it shall be promptly furnished if in my power - Yours obed t & serv t
Ernest Root
Dr. Crump -

In the case of Chloe Fox widow of Allyn Fox
Sir,
The papers were sent on in December last containing the examination before the court & the consideration of the same except that the marriage was sufficiently proved & that the record of the same in the family bible ought not to be set out &c.
I had supposed that the "Rules prescribed by the President of the United States and adopted by the Secretary of war in order to carry into effect the act of congress of the 7 th July 1838" requiring the applicant to make her declaration "before a court of record" and that "the legality of the marriage and the time when it took place must be clearly established" meant something, and that the action of the court thereon partook of its judicial character. I could hardly believe that the President would require a claimant to appear in open court for the performance of a mere ministerial act. That might as well be performed by the clerk out of court. I had supposed that the legality of the marriage was a question of law proper for the consideration & judgment of a court & that the President had intended the advice of the court in that respect. In this state we had no statute regulation for recording marriages. Entries in family-bibles have been in our courts almost the only used evidence of their solemnization. These entries if shown

to be ancient, being contained within the sides of that sacred book was considered as evidence of the facts recorded: The title to property of large amount has not unfrequently depended upon these entries. Altho the President in the "rules prescribed" recognized such family records as evidence of the marriage yet he omitted to point out the mode of their ex- plification. I had supposed therefore that the production and proof of such evidence in the court before which he had required the claimant to present her case was the re- quisite. I could not believe the law required the identi- fication or destruction of family records, in every time highly important, for the purpose of proving the verity of the facts therein set forth. After that a large family bible should be transmitted from a remote part of the Union to the seat of government for the inspection of the commissioner. Had the law so contemplated, it certainly would have made provision for its transmission free of postage. In all these particulars it seems I was mistaken. The bible-leaf, or bible itself is required.
Mr. Fax, for some time  refused the claimant declined the mutilation of his family record; but has at length consented to the destruction. I send you the two leaves with this letter. I know them to be the same which were contained in the Bible presented to the court. By looking at the certificate of the court referring to & reciting this evidence I think their identity will sufficiently appear. If not satis- factory, I beg you to send back the leaves with directions what evidence will be necessary to establish their identity. I think you have the certificate of the court

either in this case or any I sent an account the same time. That I am a credible person, I will verify my foregoing declaration by my oath, if re- quired. - In the case of Mohammed Mark, evidence of said Mark, contemporary account & very similar to this case, I sent on the bible-leaf afterwards & without any further verification. You sent on the certifi- cate. I think, however, this was done through the me- dium of the Rev. A. J. Parker.
Very respectfully your obedt Servt.
